Hi all
Looking at buying my first Porsche and hoped the community may be able to give me some guidance!
Aiming for £25k but could stretch a little higher, and want either a cabrio or a targa. Therefore have narrowed it down to 997.1 (also considered 987.2 s but want the 2+2). Seems to be quite a few cars with 50-100k miles and full service history, both private and trade. Beyond that, I'm weighing up the following:
Any thoughts much appreciated.

Seems to be quite a few cars with 50-100k miles and full service history, both private and trade. Beyond that, I'm weighing up the following:
- Is a 2006+ 3.6 with over 50k miles my best bet for low likelihood of engine issues?
- Some people seem to suggest steering clear of 7.1s models all together - is this overblown?
- Any particular trade-offs for the cabrio vs. targa? (ignoring aesthetics - I like both in their own way!)
- A lot of suggestions to get a PPI done but unless you can get it done in the workshop the engine check is superficial... Worth it anyway?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
